The Conservative government will face difficulty proving that its plan to automatically enroll eligible Canadians in the Old Age Security plan will save taxpayers money. An audit on the first phase of the program has found the department responsible, Employment and Social Development Canada(ESDC), couldn’t show "expected benefits" from the program because it has no measurable targets.
The government plans to gradually increase the age of eligibility for OAS benefits to 67 from 65 starting in 2023, but it plans to more quickly introduce automatic enrollment for eligible Canadians. The Tories argue the move will help federal coffers through reduced benefit costs and reduced service spending. The audit, however, concluded the department’ s targets "were not documented, specific or measurable." For instance, there were no "measurable targets" set for one of the keys to the government’s strategy: "improve services to Canadians." According to the audit, the department did plan to use one specific measurement to gauge effectiveness: the number of Canadians who could be enrolled automatically versus those who are actually enrolled.
The auditor, however, argued that this shouldn’t be used to show the government was reducing "costly paper processing", because some seniors who were auto-enrolled would still have to file paper applications "for a number of reasons" — such as to defer taking the OAS. "With limited baseline information on the costs for paper application processing, it will be difficult to demonstrate the planned productivity improvements and their associated savings," the auditors wrote in their report, dated February 2014 but only published a few weeks ago.
The government announced in the 2012 budget the eligibility age would change to 67 from 65, but it would be phased in over six years, starting in 2023. That means anyone who was 56 or older as of March of this year won’t be affected.
The government estimated the savings at $10.8 billion annually starting in 2030, when 9.3 million Canadians are projected to be eligible for OAS benefits—almost double the 4.7 million eligible in 2010. To further reduce costs, the government planned to automatically enroll eligible Canadians and eliminate the need for seniors to receive and return a mailed enrollment form.
The audit team reviewing the first phase of the OAS changes concluded ESDC had enough oversight for the first phase of the project, which was to use information already available within the department and to identify Canadians for possible automatic enrollment. However, auditors had concerns with how the department planned to prove in the long-term that the changes to the OAS program were having their intended effects. For example, "there is currently limited capacity to monitor the additional workload introduced by the implementation of automatic enrollment," they wrote. [br] Who will be affected by the change of eligibility age?

推断题。本题考查的是那些人会受到提高养老保障年龄的影响。可以定位到文中的The government announced in the 2012 budget the eligibility age would change to 67 from 65,but it would be phased in over six years,starting in 2023.That means anyone who was 56 or older as of March of this year won’t be affected.文章讲五十六岁和大于五十六岁的不会被影响,那么反过来受到影响的就是五十六岁以下的,C项符合。因此,正确答案是C。
